I have spent a few hours looking at some of the components and I have a few questions, is there a case you would recommend without the leds on the front? I have my pc on all night and would prefer not to have the light, also it looks like there are lights on the motherboard

Did you choose the pure rock slim because it is small?, is it a good cooler?

Selected it because for a couple of reasons, good reviews, reasonable price and one of the quietest good quality fans that I could find, keep in mind that the list are only suggestions for you to consider and you can change anything that you wish, just be sure to make sure that it is compatible with other hardware.

Thanks Phil, it's unfortunate you cant turn the leds on the corsair case off, I do like it, I like the phanteks also, I'm just a bit worried I'll break the acrylic window, I'm pretty hard on my stuff

Have been looking at a lot of cases, like those 2 with mesh and good cooling, are there any others you would recommend? I found this one that looks pretty tough and seems to have good airflow, it's quite different but about the same price as the phantek, http://www.coolermaster.com/case/lan-box-haf-series/haf-xb-evo/ what do you think?

regarding the motherboard, the Gigabyte - GA-AX370-GAMING 5, Am I paying more for the leds/lights on it? Are there other motherboards with the same features and quality for less or similar money or is this the one to get?
